“O thou who art directed unto God!…” 177 |
|
Thy revered wife, Mrs. ….…., is indeed confirmed
by the fragrances of the spirit and rendered victorious
by the hosts of the Kingdom. Verily, she hath
abandoned comfort and ease; calleth in the name of God
in those regions; hath remained firm in God’s religion;
and no power of test hath shaken her. Rest thou assured!
Her light shall shine in the globe of the love
of God and her face shall be illumined with the light
of God’s bounty!
|
|
I pray for a heavenly blessing to descend upon the
heart of [thy wife], for she arose for the spreading of
God’s fragrances. I ask God to protect thee and her
from the winds of trial. May thy tongue be moved
to utter beautiful explanations and may the hearts of
the people of Johnstown (N.Y.) become tender, so
that they may be guided to the Fountain of the Water
of Life and be illumined by the lights shining from the
kingdom of heaven.

Be not in despair, but rather smile by the mercy of
thy Lord; and be not sorrowful when meeting with
worldly difficulties and depressions, for they pass away—and thine shall be immortality during ages and centuries,
times and cycles.

Be not sad on account of poverty, nor be sorrowful
when the people scorn thee. Remember the poverty of
Jesus, the persecution of the Jews to His glorious person
and the scorn of Him. Verily, that poverty is the
glory of the beginning and the ending. It is a light
which hath illumined the heavens and the earth.

***O thou who art attracted to the Kingdom of God!

***Consider not the present state, for it is
the time of sowing seeds in that country (America)
and, of course, great difficulties are met with, differences
and hindrances of the people being severe. Firmness
must uphold us. As the servants and the maid-servants
of the Merciful stand firmly and persevere,
the good see will soon grow and bear the fruit of
blessing. Then will spirit and fragrance prevail, and
joy and rejoicing come from the heavenly sphere; the
sorrows and toils shall be forgotten and the eternal
peace and rest appear. I trust, through the bounty of
ABHA, that ye may be strengthened to serve and to
spread the Word of God.***
